well my 96 impreza 2.2 just rolled 190,000 miles, it still runs Great, also has plenty power and doesent burn oil.. anyone have a another high miledge ej22.. i just changed the waterpump and timing belt in it too so it should be good for more miles to come

i had a 1996 legacy wagon that had 212,000 on it and was strong as any car i ever owned. it was one of the things that 'sold' me on subaru!

 

hope you get another 190K!!!

95 legacy with 116,000 thats 20,000 in one year

97 impreza, 169900mi, and man does it take a beating...

over 200k on the 96 when we sold it, and it was still strong and tight.

'96 Legacy outback,also just hit 190k miles runs strong but has an oil leak somewhere.

 

And a rusted fuel filler tube,and just got new rotors,and a new fuel pump and and and and and....*sigh* I love the car but it breaks too much.

'00 with 89K .. feels like it's almost broken-in.

92 legacy with 215K on the clock and still runs strong! It's my first subie daily driver and looking forward to getting another one or two of my projects on the road this year. Stumpy

I have a 96 with approx 125,000 miles. Never had any major problems. No oil leaks or things like that. I wish it had more power sometimes. I think now that it has 125000 miles, it is time to try the bolt-on supercharger idea that I saw Reddevil try.

 

 

 

Seriously, though, I can see this engine getting past 300 000 miles if the rest of the car will stay together. (I live in road-salt laden upstate NY.)

 

 

I change the oil every 3-5000 miles with name brand or generic 5W-30 oil, and usually Purolator plus filters. I try to change the air filter once a year or two.

 

I changed the timing belt, oil seals and water pump at 109,000 miles.

190k counts at high mileage? I've only once had a subaru with less than that (bought it with 189k). My dad's outback wagon has 168k now, and still runs great. I've heard of people getting up to about 300k on one of these engines.

96 Outback legacy- passed 250,000 mi last month- put in a used tranny at about 240,00, but engine is orginal. Has been lacking some power in colorado hills and uses some oil, but she is still going.

i just turned 110,000 on mine, i know its not high milage, but i just felt the need to chime in along with all the other 2.2L owners.

I've got 243 000 km on mine, I suppose about 152 000 miles. Put on almost 26 000 km since last year already. Engine runs great, tranny starting to show some intermittent torque bind (solenoid c prob), replaced the ghastly air suspension, balljoints, some exhaust work in the works. Belt started squealing tonight. Great. New wipers all around (reflex type, expensive!). Recent rotors and brakes. New rear struts.

 

Body in fair condition, some rust. Not suprising here though.

 

I love her. She has problems. But I love her.

My ej18 Impreza and I feel left out. It's got 187k. "I'm just as good as any ej22," says it.

My 94 EJ22T has about 101,000mi on it. Runs strong, seems tight, and so far doesn't use a drop of oil.

 

My buddy's 94 ej222t had just a hair under 300k miles on it when it went to the junkyard with a failing 4eat. motor was still great too. sad times.

305,000 miles, it's a 97 Postal Legacy wagon. First motor made 288,000 miles and was doing good but I let one of the idle pully's come apart and valves and pistons got together. In the Subaru drive magazine a few years back they told about one that some salesperson had with around 500,000 miles on it, I dont remember the exact number.

my fwd 90 has a little over 218,000 does not use or leak any oil

 

Well, I got as far at 135,000 miles until the head gasket conked out. But I attribute the failure to a crappy no-name waterpump that led to the overheating condition and not the block itself.

 

Further, the first 60,000 miles of was hard service towing a jetski (or two) around and many, many trips to Lake Tahoe (4 hours drive, 8 hours ski, 4 hours drive).

 

So this engine served honorably......now if it wasn't for all the other crap attached to the engine (wheel bearings, alternator, diff seal, rant, rant, rant....)

162k on my 92 Legacy AWD wagon when it was driven non stop for 33 hours 45 minutes from Jackson MS to Dillon MT in temperatures from about 70 in MS to single digits at night in MT several weeks ago!

i had a 1996 legacy wagon that had 212,000 on it and was strong as any car i ever owned. it was one of the things that 'sold' me on subaru!

 

hope you get another 190K!!!

I HAVE A 82 SUBARU WAGON AND IT HAS 310,000 BUT I DONT RUN ANY MORE

185K miles on mine (I should probably update the sig sometime soon), and is sure as spit does not feel like it has high miles. . . Will still break 110MPH, and I just pulled a 416 mile tank on 13 gals of gas. . .(OK, I was going 65-70MPH then)

I had two 95's with 2.2's

 

One automatic and one manual

 

I sold one to my sister with 141,000 and the automatic with 146,000to a subie lover who answered the ad for the other.

 

Both ran great. My sisters blows a little oil though when starting up. Other than that, 30 mpg still she reports.

 

My 2.5 engine has 152,000, but has recently been out of the car for a HG repair.

 

I'll bet both 2.2's won't suffer the same fate.

I hit 250,000 miles in my 95 Legacy L wagon last week. I bought it with 175,000, and I've pretty much just done scheduled maintenance. I still get close to 30 mpg, and only lose about 1/2 a quart of oil every 3000 miles.

91 FWD MT Legacy-just changed oil at 257,548 miles. Still going strong, of course have done some work on car since 110k when I bought it-nothing to the engine itself except preventative-timing belts, water pump, oil change, plugs,PCV valve and did replace Valve cover gaskets.

 

Is my wife's daily driver, hope to keep blowing and going in it for a while.....

How about 269,307 and still running strong. Burns less oil than my dads 98 with 80,000 miles. I have seen one with 305,000 wrecked in a wrecking yard.
